Compliance & Safety<\/strong><\/p>\nThis method is for legitimate recruiting outreach only. Always respect candidate privacy, opt-out requests, and local data laws. Heartbeat does not provide medical advice or legal counsel.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Do \/ Don\u2019t (fast guardrails)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Do<\/strong> segment every physician record as Consent = Yes \/ No \/ Unknown before any texting or automated dialing.<\/li>\n
- Do<\/strong> include a simple opt-out line in every outbound text and treat any clear stop request as immediate suppression.<\/li>\n
- Do<\/strong> log consent status, source, date, and stop requests in ATS logging so teammates don\u2019t re-contact.<\/li>\n
- Don\u2019t<\/strong> drop \u201cUnknown\u201d consent numbers into SMS campaigns or automated dialer modes just to hit activity targets.<\/li>\n
- Don\u2019t<\/strong> rely on a rep\u2019s personal phone history as your system of record.<\/li>\n
- Don\u2019t<\/strong> assume a referral equals permission to text; document what you have and route Unknowns to the right channel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Framework: The \u201cDon\u2019t Get Burned\u201d TCPA Routine: Segment \u2192 Consent \u2192 Message \u2192 Stop<\/span><\/h2>\nPhysician recruiting punishes sloppy process because you\u2019re moving fast and working across tools (ATS, dialer, texting platform, personal devices). This routine keeps you moving without creating avoidable exposure:<\/p>\n
\n- Segment<\/strong>: Decide what channel is allowed for each record based on consent status.<\/li>\n
- Consent<\/strong>: Capture and timestamp what you can support later.<\/li>\n
- Message<\/strong>: Identify yourself, state recruiting purpose, and include opt-out.<\/li>\n
- Stop<\/strong>: Make opt-out universal and immediate across tools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The trade-off is\u2026 tighter gating can reduce raw outreach volume, but it increases workflow reliability and reduces rework from complaints, re-contacts, and list cleanup.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Step-by-step method<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/span>Step 1: Map your outreach paths and label what\u2019s automated<\/span><\/h3>\nList every way your team contacts physicians. Then label which paths involve automation in practice (dialer modes, bulk texting, scheduled sequences). TCPA risk increases with automated dialing\/texting, so you need a clear map before you set rules.<\/p>\n
